Though Several Wellknown Activists Appeared Frequently In These Initiatives, Maureen Flanagan Offers Compelling Evidence That Women Established A Broad And Durable Solidarity That Spanned Differences Of Race, Class, And Political Experience. She Also Shows That These Womenemphasizing Their Common Identity As Women Seeking A City Amenable To The Needs Of Women, Children, Families, And Homespursued A Vision And Goals Distinct From The Reform Agenda Of Progressive Male Activists.
